Been trying for a week to get FAI to work on a Ubuntu 12.04 with no success. I have been testing both a physical and virtual target and same results. I have FAI 3.4.8 installed.
I get a couple errors running fai-setup that are numeric 65280 but can't find a description of that error. It occurs after text.. "Writing Extended State information.. , Reading task description.... after that a bunch of configure errors. The ends with ERROR: live-initranfs was not installed. Then if I try to do and install pxe loads then a lot of text flies by and then see.... Begin: Loading essential drivers ... done Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount ... done Begin: Mount root file system ... /init: .: line 249: can't open 'scripts/live' Then a stack dump with what I see others report Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempt to kill init! So I've been reading everything I can and purged and re-installed and no difference. Can you point to some info or tell me what to fix. Would switching to a different distro help like Debian and if so which one do you recommend. Thanks for you help Steve B.
